To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, EDWARD Wr. Dossie- FAnrs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bucking Automobiles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip-- tion of the invention, such as Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to amusement devices and particularly to those of the vehicle type.

The object of the invention resides in the production of a self propelled vehicle Whichvvwhen in motion will impart to the occupants a variety of exhilarating and highly amusing sensations due to the peculiar movements impartedto the body of .the vehicle during travel.

To this end the invention consists in the details of construction land in the arrangement and combination o'parts to be herein more fully described and'set forth in the claims. l

In describing the invention in detail referenoe will be had to the accoinpanying` drawings in which like characters oi reference indicate corresponding parts in the Several Views and in Which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a vehicle constructedv in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2, a top plan vieiv of same with a portion of the body of the vehicle re moved showing the mechanism for propel.- ling same andv the steering gear; Fig. 3, a View similar to Fig. 1 showing one of the .positions assumed the body of the vehicle during travel; and, Fig. l, a similar view showing` still another position assumed by the body of the vehicle.

Referring to the drawings 5 and G indicate respectively the rear and front axles oi" the vehicle. The rear axle 5 has eccen tric'ally hired-thereon the Wheels While the axle 6 is likewise provided with the eccentrically journaled wheels 9 and 10 which are of a less d meter than those journaled on the rear a Suspended on the axles 5 and. 6 is a body simporting traine A. Carried by the frame A is a motor B ot' the gasolene engine type, and the drive shaft l1 of said motor extends transversel}7 of theframe t and has secured Ithereon the sprocket Wheels 1Q- and 13. Mounted Patentes. sept. is, isis. f

on the axle 5 are the sprocket wheels 14 and 15 and a sprocket chain 1G connects the Wheels 12 and l-t While a similar chain 1'?" axle o upon the frame A. is the body of the vohicle @which is provided with the seats 18, 19 and 20. Located in front ot the S20 the operating Wheel 22, the roti yion of which eill'ects the steering of the vehicle through the medium of the connections Q3, 24, 25, 26, and 27 in a usual and Well lmown manner. l

Owing to the eccentric journalingn oi ti e Wheels 7 S, 9 and 10 seriesoit constant-ly varying and amusing motions Will be iin parted to the vehicle and hy reason ot 'the fact that the Wheels 9 and l@ are loosely mounted upon the. axle o, and are of less diameter than. the 'Wheels 7 and 8 eachsuc cessive motion of the body() of the vehicle will be diiierent from the preceding one,y which will tend to keep the occupants in a state of excitement and expectancy during,I the progress of the vehicle. lt Will also benoted that owing to the tact that the wheels 9 and 10 are loosely mounted .upon the axle they Willrnot rotate correspond ingly and this Will cause the `forward por tion of the vehicle body to partake oll side tilt or dip as the short radius oi" Wheel will at times disposed ber o the axle while the long `radius ot the Wheel Will be at the same time dis.;A beneath the other end of the axle.

1illhat claimed is fl. A.. vehiclev comprising liront and rear axles, a body supported Iby said axles, l Wheels mounted on the end' oit' each of s axles with their peripheries disposed tric to their o rotation, the Wh l said liront axles being independentl57 ble with respect to each other. 4

i vehicle comprising iront and axles, a bodyy supported by said l on said-fren@ axes being independently revolube with respect te eachother :mdA of ydi'eren. digeaetevs than the wheels on the n Atestimony whereof, I ax my signa ture, in presence of two Witnesses,
